A few weeks ago, Jason and I started running together. We’re aiming for 3 times a week. The first day - awful. I hated it, and I let the world know. The second day I decided, why dread it? Why complain? Why look at the negatives? It turns out sooooooo [...]

My family was in town a few weeks ago on vacation, and my mother brought with her boxes of “stuff” she’d packed up from my old room at her house. (She decided she needed room for a long-arm quilter, so it was time I officially “moved out.”) Of course, my first reaction was, [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post entitled “Training vs Trying“, and at the very end of that post, my husband challenged me to train for a marathon. Well, after watching the women run the Olympic marathon in 2 1/2 hours (running 5:30 minute miles!!) I thought to myself, “Why the HECK would [...]

… This list changes from week to week, but here’s the top 10 for this week, inspired by the fact that my entire family came down to Ocean City on vacation for the week (I’m talking parents, brother & sister-in-law, nieces, nephew, uncle, cousins - and it’s not over yet!).  And, since I’ve been so [...]

Okay, I’ve had a few days to think, ponder, and gauge responses from other wives reading my blog. For the most part, it seems that most Christian wives are striving to be a woman who treats her husband with love, respect, honor, and service.
One thing I failed to mention, though, is that I do [...]

My original plan was to post a blog entry at least twice a week, preferably every other day. Then, on top of this being an INCREDIBLY busy week, I got sick.
Every spare moment that I spent not napping was spent striving to be a better wife to my poor husband who was left to [...]

This summer is such a busy one for Jason and me! He is in a movie, emceeing a large youth event, working in various church ministries, plus working full time.  I, of course, do all these things with him (except his job - I have my own which is thankfully only half day in the [...]

I am a naturally messy person. All my life, I have left a trail behind me: shoes, empty cups, hair clips, clothes…. I’m extremely forgetful, and picking up after myself is one of those things I often (and most easily) forget.
Getting married has not made me neater. I always thought it would [...]

Today Jason and I led Edge, the pre-teen ministry at our church. It’s usually run by 3 amazing teenagers, but we like to give them a break once a month. Besides, these are the kids who will be in the youth group in a few years, so it’s nice to be building those relationships.
